If used improperly can cause death or injury. “With the Severing Charm, cutting or tearing objects is a simple matter of quality control. The spell can be quite precise in skilled hands, and the Severing Charm is widely used in a variety of wizarding trades. Useful as it is, this charm should be practiced with caution, as a careless wipe the one can cause injury.” Quoted Miranda Goshawk.

Charm: DIFFINDO (Dif-fin-doh)

History: This spell was invented in the 15th century by wizard seamstress Delfina Crimp. She made the spell because prior to her discovery, cutting spells the were apt to burn or shred things. However, a fellow seamstress nearly killed her after he raided her shop, having realized that she could do magic, and held her tied up. Nonetheless, upon being released to scratch a wart on her chin brought her wand forth and she disapparated with a sack of gold.

Effects: Cuts the target, but when used on a person can cause injury or even death.

Wand Movements: You must point at the target and make a ‘V’ with a ‘L’ connected to it while saying the charm.
